Ngorongoro Serena Lodge – Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Regularly voted one of the best hotels in the world, this unique lodge clings to the rim of the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, the largest and most perfect volcanic area on Earth. Long and low, the lodge is built from local river stone and camouflaged with indigenous vines. Designed to blend into the landscape it is entirely invisible from the floor of the caldera some 600 meters below. This luxury lodge is linked by arched stone passages and timbered decks, its walls are decorated with stylised prehistoric cave paintings which are lit by flaring torches, and at its heart burns a glowing fire which is kept constantly alight. Each of its superlative 75 rooms has a private rock-enclosed balcony enjoying uninterrupted panoramic views of the magnificent volcanic amphitheatre.
